Network for Good in Bethesda, Md., and Groundspring in San Francisco merged in December to create a nonprofit technology group that plans this summer to release a suite of online fundraising and communications tools for nonprofits.

The combined organization, to be known as Network for Good, also will customize for nonprofit use the web-based database that San Francisco-based salesforce.com already provides for more than 400 nonprofit clients, said Bill Strathmann, CEO of Network for Good.

Before they agreed to merge, he said, Network for Good and Groundspring each was working independently with salesforce.com to integrate their products with its database."
